Job Description

Here in Montague Gardens, an industrial bakery needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

You'll be based at an industrial bakery in Montague Gardens. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

The work, day to day

  • Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
  • Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
  • Check product for size, weight and seal faults and pull out rejects
  • Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
  • Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run

What you need

  • No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
  • You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
  • Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
  • Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience assisting on a packaging or filling machine
  • Some basic first-aid training
  • A food handler or basic HACCP awareness certificate

What's in it for you

  • Path to machine operator after six months
  • Staff shop with discounted factory products
  • Company transport on some night shifts

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: your latest school results or matric certificate, food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one plus CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Montague Gardens.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Mention that you can work rotating shifts right at the top. It is the first thing most factories filter on.
  • Name the products you worked on before, like "biscuit line" or "juice bottling". Factory recruiters read that faster than a job title.
